TrES-1 Exoplanet Report

["Robert J. Bradbury" <bradbury@aeiveos.com>]

Astrobiology [1] is mentioning a paper [2] showing
how small scopes can be used to to contribute to the
discovery of exoplanets.

Are the general observing modes for the TASS telescopes
useful for this or do the intervals between examining
the same area of sky limit you to catching only exoplanets
with certain orbital characteristics?

Also, if anyone wants to go into it deeply enough are
the current data redecution methods significantly similar
to or different from the methods discussed in the paper?

Thanks,
Robert
